Nintendo Quarterly Sales Update to 31st Dec 2025: Switch 2 at 17.37m

[PAOerfulone]

So apparently, if a Switch 2 edition of a Switch 1 game is bought digitally, it is counted as a Switch 1 software purchase rather than a Switch 2 software purchas.e

But if the Switch 2 edition is bought physically, then it is counted as a Switch 2 software purchase.

...Huh???

It is worth noting that Nintendo breaks down sales for Switch 2 Editions like this

Switch 1 = Switch 1
Switch 2 Digital = Switch 1
Switch 2 Physical = Switch 2
Switch 2 Upgrade = Not counted
